Medical Xpress / Helping Hawaiʻi adults reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes
For many adults at risk of type 2 diabetes, knowing where to begin can be one of the biggest obstacles to prevention. A new study from the Healthy Hawaiʻi Evaluation Team (HHET) at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Thompson ...
Phys.org / How Gravity from Entropy theory connects the second law of thermodynamics with the emergence of cosmic structure
A new study by Queen Mary University of London mathematician Professor Ginestra Bianconi proposes a new perspective on one of the deepest questions in modern physics: How can the universe become increasingly structured and ...
Phys.org / New film highlights ESRC research on online harms
HateLab, led by Professor Matthew Williams of Cardiff University, has shown that spikes in online hate speech can be followed by increases in hate crime offline.
Phys.org / Shroud of Turin DNA sheds light on its biological history
New research has uncovered the complex biological history preserved within DNA traces found on the Shroud of Turin, offering fresh insights into one of the world's most studied and debated historical artifacts.

Phys.org / Why some human brains can outlast other soft tissues after death
Why do some brains survive long after death when most other soft tissue decays? That's the question a research team led by Alexandra Morton-Hayward at the University of Oxford set out to answer.
Phys.org / Light-driven chemistry steers electron transfers beyond redox limits
Chemists use single-electron transfers to synthesize complex, ring-shaped molecular structures found in many drug candidates and advanced materials, but current techniques still have limitations. A new study, accepted for ...
Medical Xpress / A new plan for healthy aging starts before we're born
Most of us would like to hang around on the planet for as long as possible, and thankfully, lifespans in many countries are increasing. Scientists are also developing a new field known as longevity medicine, which aims to ...
Phys.org / Giant planets could act as dark matter detectors
Researchers in the U.S. have carried out the most stringent tests to date of the idea that an ultraviolet glow in the atmospheres of giant planets could partly arise through the indirect interaction between dark matter and ...
Phys.org / Why do some people who trust in science also believe in scientific conspiracy theories?
In a world where trust in institutions is generally declining, trust in science remains relatively high. Yet belief in scientific conspiracy theories, such as hushed-up effects of vaccines or airplane "chemtrails," is also ...
Tech Xplore / Fine-tuned perovskites make blue LEDs more vibrant
Over the past decade, perovskite LEDs have become increasingly vibrant and affordable to produce. With careful tweaks to their chemical composition, these crystal-based light emitters can be tuned across the visible spectrum—matching ...
